It wasn’t connecting to the printer, and when I installed Repetier-Server it couldn’t find the printer. After some searching around (most of the stuff out there is for the Raspberry Pi, which is a very similar device) it seems like the first builds of the C.H.I.P.
#PI REPETIER SERVER DESKTOP SERIAL#
#Repetier server key serialįirmware didn’t include the USB Serial drivers in the kernel. Apparently, /dev/ttyUSB0 should have been a choice, and it wasn’t there. I also hadn’t used the device in quite a while, so I figured it was a good idea to reflash my C.H.I.P.
As it turns out, in the 4.4 firmware at least, it is! to get the latest and greatest image for the device and hope this was resolved. In order to perform a flash, you will need to put your C.H.I.P. This is a bit of an odd step, as you will need to unfold a paperclip and plug it into a couple of the pins on your C.H.I.P.
all ready for flashing:Īfter that is done, head over to and follow the wizard to flash your device. I choose the “Headless Kernel 4.4” image since I was going to set this up as a server without a monitor and keyboard. You might want a different image if you intend to make the repetier server a side-job for your C.H.I.P. Updating C.H.I.P.Īfter flashing, I needed to set up my C.H.I.P. so it would connect to my wireless network. There are some excellent directions here: on doing just that. Just remember to be patient after plugging in your C.H.I.P. it takes a few seconds for the computer to boot up and be available via the COM port. Once you’ve connected to your network and can connect to your C.H.I.P. via SSH over wireless (use the same putty application you used to set up the network), it is time to perform some updates. If you logged in as root, you can follow the commands below directly. If you are using one of the desktop firmware version, you will need to preface these commands with “sudo” and provide the “chip” when the system asks for a password.
#PI REPETIER SERVER DESKTOP UPDATE#
Update the packages installed on the system: apt-get upgrade To update your installation sources and package information, run: apt-get updateĪfter the completes, go ahead and let the C.H.I.P. This will likely take a few minutes, as there are a lot of packages to update from the base firmware. Just let it run, and pick back up when it finishes.
#PI REPETIER SERVER DESKTOP DOWNLOAD#
Head over to and click on the Download link under Repetier-Server. There will be a number of options here, but the one we want is for “ armhf“, since the C.H.I.P. The easiest thing to do here is to right click on the download button and copy the link to the clipboard. Then pop back over to your putty session and download the file with wget.
#PI REPETIER SERVER DESKTOP INSTALL#
In my case: wget Īfter downloading, we need to install the package: dpkg -i Repetier-Server-0.80.bįinally, we just need to start the service: service RepetierServer start From the command line, type “wget ” and right click to paste the URL into the putty window. Troubleshooting note: I had an issue where the RepetierServer service did not start when I restarted my C.H.I.P. After connecting with putty and experimenting, I found that, for some reason, the repetierserver user had disappeared from /etc/passwd. I just reran the dpkg command above and reinstalled and didn’t have an issue after that.
Server Setupįor the rest of the setup, we need to switch to a web browser. Once the service is started, your C.H.I.P. Will be running a web server on port 3344.
